Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I use my Wilson 47d (45 acp) mags in my .40. I can easily throw my Barney round in there for 9 total at the start.
  2. Those that are shooing major seem to have gravitated to .40. Otherwise a few have changed to 9mm.
  3. 9mm open to burn Ammo seems the best choice.
  4. Try some 200gr XTP bullets. I've used 5.0 grains for IDPA matches, very nice shooting. OAL 1.245. Should have no trouble making major PF.
  5. Local Sportsman's warehouse has VV for $38 a pound, when you can find it.
  6. Actually an Ed Brown Maxi-well. It has a bigger mouth than the S&A. They are about the same price from Brownells. Baer uses Ed Browns for their magwells.
  7. @noylj: I run N310 almost exclusive in my match ammo for 1911s. 4.5 over a 200 LSWC. It has been pretty stable for me, no pressure spikes that I can think of.
  8. And you will want a ramped/supported barrel to help deal with the higher pressures.
  9. You will need a whole new top end.
  10. STI doesn't have the strongest of finishes that I have had or seen. Safariland has a swead (sp?) lined holster. Problem is, unless you have a sheepskin lined holster, all of them are going to cause wear of some sort. If you are looking to refinish the gun at some point, there are some very hard/durable finishes out there. Hard Hat treatment is one, Ion Bond another. IF you are looking to compete, you are going to get wear no matter what.
  11. Umm, this argument over the best 1911 could/should be settled at the Single Stack Nationals. Same platform at the same match. What do you say Kimbertarget or Mr. Car loan guy?
  12. This is right along the lines of the AR15 mall ninja guy that worked at Mall America. Good stuff, pass the popcorn.
  13. Metalforms in 10mm, the 8 rounders with the metal followers. I load long at 1.18-1.20 and have never had a problem.
